## JavaScript
```js
const sec = document.querySelector('.lf-24');
const btn = sec.querySelector('.lf-24__eye');
const pw = sec.querySelector('.lf-24__pw');
btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
  const show = pw.type === 'password';
  pw.type = show ? 'text' : 'password';
  btn.setAttribute('aria-pressed', String(show));
  btn.setAttribute('aria-label', show ? 'Hide password' : 'Show password');
  pw.focus();
});
```

How this works

Because browsers can't switch an input's type from CSS, a tiny script flips password ↔ text on click and updates the button's aria-pressed and aria-label so screen readers announce the state. Everything visual is CSS.

The toggle is a real <button> absolutely positioned at right: 12px; the input reserves right padding equal to the button width so characters never overflow beneath the icon. The two eye states are CSS-drawn glyphs swapped by the aria-pressed attribute, and the button keeps a clear :focus-visible ring.

The input stays a native password field so password managers still work.

Make it yours

  • Recolour from --accent; the eye inherits it.
  • Resize the button and matching input right-padding together.
  • Swap the CSS eye for an inline SVG if you prefer.
  • Add a strength hint below reusing the same field.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Reserve input right-padding equal to the button so text never hides under the icon.
  • Toggle aria-pressed + aria-label, not just the glyph, so the state is announced.
  • Keep it a real <button type="button"> so it doesn't submit the form.

Floor set by oklch() as this demo is written. The core technique itself goes back further — Chrome 49+.

Requires a click handler to switch input type; all styling and the focus ring are CSS.
